Formula BMW Indonesia: The Sentul track is quite technical and it took me a little longer than usual to get to grips with it.

Just arrived from Indonesia and the Formula BMW with Marlon...

"Last weekend I was sick with a bad cold and not really up to form the way I had wanted it. The Sentul track is quite technical and it took me a little longer than usual to get to grips with it.

Therefore my qualifying times were not so fast and I had to start the first two races from 8th and 9th position respectively. The first two races on Saturday did not really go well and I had an accident in race two by colliding with a competitor on the start finish line. Not much damage was done to my car but I couldn't finish the race. This kept me down at the end of the starting grid for the other two races on Sunday which went slightly better. Finally my lap times were at par with the front runners, but I had a hard time making my way up through the field since everybody was fiercely defending their positions and I ended up in 6th and 7th position respectively. Well, not such a great race weekend to remember. I will now just concentrate on the three guest races in Europe ahead of me - starting with the Hungarian F1 Grand Prix next week - and try to prepare myself for the next rounds of the Formula BMW Pacific series in Singapore, supporting the first F1 night race on September 27 and 28."
